The Challenges of Data Privacy and Cybersecurity in Cloud Computing and Artificial Intelligence (AI) Applications for EQA Organizations.
Review in EJIFCC, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: The adoption of cloud computing and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies offers significant advantages for External Quality Assessment (EQA) providers, including scalability, cost efficiency, and broader accessibility. However, these benefits come with substantial cybersecurity and data privacy challenges. Methodology: We performed a systematic literature review on cybersecurity risks in healthcare cloud computing, consulted experts in bioinformatics and cybersecurity, and analyzed real-world hacking incidents targeting EQA organizations. A risk-focused framework was developed to outline key challenges and best practice mitigation strategies. Results: Ten key challenges were identified: 1. data breaches and unauthorized access, 2. compliance with regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR, 3. data sovereignty and jurisdictional issues, 4. shared infrastructure vulnerabilities, 5. insider threats, 6. data loss and availability concerns, 7. inadequate security measures by cloud providers, 8. application vulnerabilities, 9. limited visibility and control, and 10. the complexity of cloud security management. Conclusion: To fully benefit from cloud computing and AI, EQA providers must implement robust security practices, ensure regulatory compliance, and continuously monitor their environments. Proactive cybersecurity strategies are essential to safeguarding sensitive laboratory data and maintaining operational continuity and accreditation.
